	<div class="exampleIntro">
	<p>As with the Folder Style example, here we're using CSS to control the styling of our <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/treeview/">TreeView Control</a>'s node icons.  The CSS and image assets for the Menu Style are available as part of the YUI download package.</p>

<p>This example also implements <code>MenuNode</code> instead of <code>TextNode</code> for node creation.  Only one <code>MenuNode</code> can be open at a given depth at the same time.  This creates an interaction in which nodes close up behind you as you open new ones, keeping the vertical size of the TreeView more compact during navigation.</p>

	<h2 class="first">Implementing the Menu Style</h2>

<p>The key change we've made in this <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/treeview/">TreeView Control</a> example is that we've applied a supplementary CSS file to create the "Menu Style" node presentation:</p>

<textarea name="code" class="HTML" cols="60" rows="1"><link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="assets/css/menu/tree.css"></textarea>

<p>This CSS redefines the look of branch nodes so they appear as arrows.  The folder-style CSS accompanies your <a href="http://developer.yahoo.com/yui/download/">YUI download</a> and can be found in the <code>yui/examples/treeview/assets</code> directory.</p>

<p>Beyond the <code>link</code> element referenced above, the following markup is on the page for this example:</p>

<textarea name="code" class="HTML" cols="60" rows="1"><!-- Some style for the expand/contract section-->
<style>
#expandcontractdiv {border:1px dotted #dedede; background-color:#EBE4F2; margin:0 0 .5em 0; padding:0.4em;}
#treeDiv1 { background: #fff; padding:1em; margin-top:1em; }
</style>

<!-- markup for expand/contract links -->
<div id="expandcontractdiv">
	<a id="collapse" href="#">Collapse all</a>
</div>

<div id="treeDiv1"></div></textarea>

<p>Based on that markup, we use the following JavaScript code to create our TreeView instance, populate its nodes, and add expand/collapse functionality:</p>

<textarea name="code" class="JScript" cols="60" rows="1">//an anonymous function wraps our code to keep our variables
//in function scope rather than in the global namespace:
(function() {
	var tree; //will hold our TreeView instance
	
	function treeInit() {
		
		YAHOO.log("Example's treeInit function firing.", "info", "example");
		
		//Hand off ot a method that randomly generates tree nodes:
		buildRandomTextNodeTree();
		
		//handler for collapsing all nodes
		YAHOO.util.Event.on("collapse", "click", function(e) {
			YAHOO.log("Collapsing all TreeView  nodes.", "info", "example");
			tree.collapseAll();
			YAHOO.util.Event.preventDefault(e);
		});
	}
	
	//This method will build a TreeView instance and populate it with
	//between 3 and 7 top-level nodes
	function buildRandomTextNodeTree() {
	
		//instantiate the tree:
		tree = new YAHOO.widget.TreeView("treeDiv1");
		
		//create top-level nodes
		for (var i = 0; i < Math.floor((Math.random()*4) + 3); i++) {
			var tmpNode = new YAHOO.widget.MenuNode("label-" + i, tree.getRoot(), false);
			
			//we'll delegate to another function to build child nodes:
			buildRandomTextBranch(tmpNode);
		}
		
		//once it's all built out, we need to render
		//our TreeView instance:
		tree.draw();
	}

	//This function adds a random number <4 of child nodes to a given
	//node, stopping at a specific node depth:
	function buildRandomTextBranch(node) {
		if (node.depth < 6) {
			YAHOO.log("buildRandomTextBranch: " + node.index);
			for ( var i = 0; i < Math.floor(Math.random() * 4) ; i++ ) {
				var tmpNode = new YAHOO.widget.MenuNode(node.label + "-" + i, node, false);
				buildRandomTextBranch(tmpNode);
			}
		}
	}
	
	//When the DOM is done loading, we can initialize our TreeView
	//instance:
	YAHOO.util.Event.onDOMReady(treeInit);
	
})();//anonymous function wrapper closed; () notation executes function</textarea>
